Hindu Mahasabha observes Nathuram Godse's death anniversary
Gwalior: Hindu Mahasabha observed the 71st death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse and co-conspirator Narayan Apte here on Sunday.
Godse and Apte were hanged to death at Ambala Jail on November 15, 1949, after they were convicted for killing the Mahatma. Hindu Mahasabha observes their death anniversary as the 'sacrifice day'.
Mahasabha said that if the bust of Godse, confiscated three years ago from its office by the authorities here, is not returned, it will install a new one.
Its national vice president Dr. Jaiveer Bhardwaj said, "Our members performed 'aarti' and paid tributes to Godse and Apte at Daulatganj."
"If Godse's bust is not returned to us by May, we will install a new one," he said.
He asserted that it was not a crime to install a bust in a private building and the Constitution guarantees its 'puja' (worship).
The district authorities had confiscated Godse's bust in November 2017, thereby foiling the right-wing outfit's attempt to turn its office into his 'temple'.

Madikeri (Karnataka) (PTI): A seven-year-old student was killed in a fire accident that occurred at a residential school in Kodagu district on Thursday, police said.
The fire broke out at Har Mandir School near here in the wee hours, and the rest of the 29 students staying in the residential school were saved, they added.
The victim has been identified as Pushpak (7), a Class Two student from Chettimani village in Madikeri taluk. Firefighters from the Madikeri Fire Station, along with local residents, worked together to douse the flames. The cause of the fire is believed to be a short circuit.
"There were 29 students in this residential school. All others are safe except for this boy. Investigations are on to ascertain the cause of the fire, though preliminarily it seems that a short circuit was the reason behind the fire," a police officer told PTI.
Senior police officers and Fire Brigade staff visited the spot and conducted an inspection.
